I have Koha running on a Sparc platform on Solaris 8. But everytime I try to start the z3950-daemon-launch.sh script it fails after a few seconds with the following error.

su: Unknown id: /usr/appl/www/koha/intranet/scripts/z3950daemon/z3950-daemon-shell.sh

I've tried just about everything, can't figure out what I'm missing. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks

Hi Brian,

Are you running 1.2.3 or 1.9.0 ?

If 1.2.3, you need to set the "RunAsUser" variable in the z3950-daemon-launch.sh script to whatever user you are running Apache under. I've been thinking a more elegant solution might be to execute the z3950 daemon from within the web script (using a double fork) if a Z39.50 query is requested and the daemon is not already running. This solution would be restricted to OS'es that implement fork, of course. Steve.

I'm running 1.9.0, but I had this same issue with 1.2.3 And I've changed my RunAsUser to be the same as the apache server.

Hmm you probably know a lot more about Solaris than me is su -s /bin/sh -c $KohaZ3950Shell - $RunAsUser & A valid command? It might be worth trying it from the commandline with the appropriate values substituted for the variables.
